Slimcases that don't require cover mutilation?
I've finally run out of shelf space for my collection, and finding a place to add more shelves isn't a huge option at this point, so I'm considering a switch to slimcases for my collection. Now the big issue I have is that (from what I have read before), in order to put a normal-sized DVD cover into a slimcase, I'd essentially have to trim some of the sides off with scissors. I really don't wanna do that. Call it an OCD thing. Plus, I really don't feel like trimming several hundred covers.
My question is, is there any slimcase that's just a little bit wider in the front and back that would allow me to fit a normal-sized cover into it without cutting any of the cover off?

If you have a printer, scanner and a basic image editing program like Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Corel Draw, etc. (Paint would suffice) you can convert your covers into thinpaks. Then you can box-up the original cases & covers in the attic or something and double your shelf space. If you need a tutorial on how-to scan/edit/print custom covers, I'd be happy to help you out. I can also hook you up with blank Thinpak templates that you can cut & paste into. PM me if you want more info.
